The Three Rules of the Swarm

Lorne Mitchell, MD of Objective Designers, and business architect talks with Alessandro about the lessons we can take from nature with a particular emphasis on the parallels that can be made between bee swarms and business organisations

Every swarm is governed by a set of rules and Lorne explains how the principles of orientation, alignment, attraction, alignment, cohesion, and separation work both in a swarm and within an organisation, both entities made up of individuals.

We are a part of nature and need to be inspired and work with it, listen in and hear more

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Bees have been around for fifty million years so they are a lot older and wiser than we are
The swarm is an organism in its own right, although it’s made up of individual bees, and is governed by a set of rules
The rule of orientation/alignment – where each bee will line up with the bees around it
Smart people see where things are heading and get out in front of the crowd
The rule of attraction and cohesion – a bee that is out of the group will try to get back in the main body
Swarming plays a role in helping the bees to be less vulnerable
We want to be part of something that’s bigger than ourselves either with a relationship with someone else or as part of a group
The rule of separation  focuses on the parts that make up the whole
In both swarms and businesses the leader is giving the instructions
Allowing parts to integrate, in a natural flowing way, benefits all the parts involved
You are working with the individual to make the whole organisation better
Philosophy, the natural world, and the ancient wisdom come together to create a model that tests the future playfully and  seeks integration
